How It Works

🗺️

Describe Your Land

Enter your total acreage and terrain type. Flat land fits more sites per acre than wooded or hilly terrain, which requires more clearing and grading.

🏕️

Choose Your Site Types

Select what kind of camping sites you want to build. Full-hookup RV sites need more space than tent sites but command higher nightly rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much land do I need per campsite?

RV full-hookup sites need about 2,500 sq ft each (including pad, hookups, and buffer). Tent sites need about 1,200 sq ft. Glamping sites or cabins need 3,500+ sq ft for privacy. Add 25-35% for roads, bathhouses, dump stations, and common areas. A rough rule of thumb is 6-10 RV sites or 15-20 tent sites per usable acre.

What percentage of my land will be roads and common areas?

Typically 25-35% of your total land goes to infrastructure: roads, bathhouses, office, dump station, playground, laundry, and buffer zones. Parks with loops and pull-through sites use more road space (30-40%). Parks with back-in sites along a straight road can get by with 20-25%.

Does terrain really affect how many sites I can fit?

Absolutely. Flat, open terrain can use nearly 100% of its non-road space for sites. Wooded land requires clearing and may have unbuildable areas around trees. Hilly terrain needs grading for level pads and may have drainage issues. Expect 30-40% less capacity on hilly terrain compared to flat land.
